Philips Innovative Applications
Tonight, there is a great movie on cable that you want to watch on your LCD
TV. With the RC9800i, you select the cable device as the source that
holds the content and the LCD TV as the device on which you'll be
watching the movie. Next, the RC9800i will show you a screen with all of
the relevant TV control buttons as if it were the TV's remote.
You want to watch television, but don't know what is on. Take your RC9800i
and launch the Electronic Program Guide (EPG). You can select any
program from the EPG; the RC9800i will take care of tuning your TV to
the appropriate channel.
Some friends are coming over to see your summer holiday pictures. It won't
be easy for everyone to gather around the PC to view the photos. Why not
view them on the LCD TV in the living room? With a Media Adapter
connected to the TV, you are all set, and with the RC9800i, you can
control the whole viewing session, including previewing photos on the
remote's screen and setting up a slide show.
A couple of weeks ago, you went snowboarding with some friends. Now you
would love to see those pictures again. You can do that right away on
your RC9800i's screen.
Doing all of the above is in fact very simple and it just takes 3 steps. Let's
assume that you want to watch a DVD on your LCD TV. This is what you
would do:
Are you going to watch or listen to something? Watch

Listen Activities

You can perform a whole range of 'Listen' activities:
When you want to listen to a CD on your audio system, you no longer need to
look for the right remote. With your RC9800i you can control your CD-
player and your audio system.
Instead of listening to a CD, you would like to enjoy some MP3 audio-files
from your PC. With the RC9800i you can browse through your PC
folders, select your favorite songs and play them on any connected audio
system.
While you're reading a new novel you would like to have some background
music. You choose your RC9800i as the device that you'll be listening to
and stream an Internet radio station to it.
Note
The undocked device only features a speaker intended for pre-listening.
Enjoying music via the RC9800i can be done best via the docking, connected
by a line to your audio system. For further information, please check The
Cradle as Media Adapter as from page 17.
Again, doing any of the above is very simple. For example, to listen to a CD
these are the steps you take:
Are you going to watch or listen to something? Listen
